Rules

George awkwardly scuttles into the office bathroom. Because he knows Rule No. 2, he checks the toilet paper supply before sitting down. Instantly recognizing that the available supply of toilet paper on the roll is not sufficient for the task at hand, he retrieves a new roll from under the sink. Dilemma. Should George change the rolls now, before he sits down? Uncomfortably squirming while contemplating this perplexing situation creates an urgency in the decision making and subsequent movement. YES! Change the roll...HURRY! Plop. George drops the toilet paper roll insert into the toilet. Dilemma. Should George fish the insert from the bowl with his hands or should he find a retrieval tool of some kind? Splash go his fingers into the water and then straight to the sink for a quick lather with generic anti-bacterial liquid soap. Now, finally, when it seems that further delay would be catastrophic, George sits down, confident that he has shown a great deal of foresight in following Rule No. 2, even in the face of disaster.
